You laugh, but Ty Lue checks all the boxes for this organization:

This was all very informative, but wouldn’t it have been more digestible in an audio format? Perhaps in some sort of file downloadable to mobile devices, and given a punny, football-coach-based name?

Yes, there are ways of charging people to use roads. Toll roads (which account for 0.125% of all US roads) and congestion pricing (which does not currently exist in the US) among them. That’s not my point. My point is that when a road is built or improved the primary question is almost never “Will it cover it’s own…

Public transportation projects should have an ROI

Roads also lose insane amounts of money every year. The purpose is of mass transit is not to turn a profit. The purpose of mass transit is to help a city and region function more efficiently, so that other endeavors have a greater chance of profitability.

The problem is the thinking that it HAS to have an ROI. It’s a public project meant for the public. All it has to do is have a better ROI than doing it privately, even if that means it’s negative.

It’s fucking amazing to me that spending at least $11 billion to improve commute times is more politically viable that just adding real mass transit to an area desperately in need of it. 

Someone in another comment mentioned a 30 second cap. Seems like an elegant solution.

I truly cannot understand you fussy pedant American sports fans. You’ve now begun to infect soccer with this tripe. Most sports fans around the world were totally willing to accept human error in return for fluidity and poetry in…

It’s good that one of Deadspin’s soccer writers caught this. I have a feeling the other one missed it because he’s midway through a 5,000-word paean to Gerard Deulofeu after he did something good today.

really kicking myself for not working “Infinity War” into that headline

Listen, I was 9 when the Tim Burton Batman came out too, but I try not to let it back me into bonkers takes like “Jack Nicolson was a better Joker than Heath Ledger.”

You’re saying he came after Pitino?  Believable. 

The kid called his mom a ‘complete bitch’. Eli had to look up what ‘complete’ meant.

The “S” tattoo is an absolute no brainer.

Holy shit, Jacob deGrom should’ve gone somewhere else to get paid.

This is unscientific as shit, but I really believe Brad Stevens’s whole “process coaching” model works best with role players, and loses a little bit of its credibility with those role players as soon as an alpha-scorer type is allowed to bend it to suit his hunger for possessions. Like, when he was at Butler, he…

Jesus, this is going to be a banner day for uncles on Facebook...

At what point do we just accept that the game of football has some design flaws that simply don’t hold up to the scrutiny of modern viewing methods?

You reference a 30-foot tall baseball hurling machine and don’t include a picture? This is malpractice.
